BELVIDERE — Growth Dimensions Executive Director Kelly Galluzzo is stepping down from her position to accept a new job with WREX as an account executive in the business development/sales and marketing department.

“While the board is extremely supportive of Kelly’s decision to accept this opportunity we are disappointed to lose such a valuable asset to our organization,” Van Evera said. “Kelly has been an enthusiastic promoter of Belvidere-Boone County and has represented Growth Dimensions successfully in her efforts to develop relationships throughout the region while establishing a new standard of excellence for the organization and the promotion of the community.”

Galluzzo first came to Growth Dimensions in 2004 and has been part of the team leading the economic development efforts in Belvidere-Boone County for the past 10 years. Kelly was responsible for providing economic development leadership for Belvidere and Boone County in the areas of business attraction, expansion, retention, enterprise zone administration, workforce development, economic development strategic initiatives and special projects.

The Board of Directors at Growth Dimensions is currently interviewing candidates to fill Galluzzo’s position. Her last day with the organization is July 17.
